My entry was a poem and I thought it turned out real well. Let me know what you guys think of it. It's on this page http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=44554&st=150

You spend some time writing something and it's nice to get some feedback. Now I'm not the kind of guy who sits around writing poetry all day long so go easy on me if you don't like it.
 
Volsfan91's Entry:

Hi all! Just wanted to put in my entry, because this is one of the few opportunities I may have to actually be able to obtain a flashcart. (Can't buy one- had to have my grandparents buy sister's! And she doesn't like sharing.

)

For my entry, I constructed a huge poster comprised of 50 sheets of 8.5x11 paper. It was printed on my crappy home printer. What is the poster? The GBATemp logo, of course!

This process took forever! After printing 50 sheets, (took forever) my sister and I took the paper out to the garage to piece together the logo. This was difficult, like putting together a giant puzzle.

Here are some shots of that little process:



This thing turned out to be about 7 feet wide by 4.5 feet high!

After we put together the puzzle, it was time for this thing to go up on the wall, which I'll let this little video present to you.



Hope you guys like my entry.

Why I should be considered:
*Amount of resources/time spent (50 sheets of paper + ink + three days + photo taking + photo effects)
*Presentation
*Lack of availability of flashcart for me.

(Cash + shipping to where I live is a serious problem)


How long did that take? And how many ink cartridges did you go through? It looks very nice, I still can't believe how big it is!!!!!!!

Edit:
I see you're uploading a video, dangit, I can't wait to see how many people you killed to do this!
 
LOL, it took faaar too long. I did the printing and piecing together one day, (took about 2 hours) and the taping up on the wall the next.

I used about 75 sheets of paper (including screw-ups), two rolls of tape, and God knows how much how ink...

However, I'm very happy and I think I have a chance of winning, so it's all water under the bridge now!

BTW, I love this contest. Even if I don't win, I always like seeing the GBATemp forum users come alive.

Looks great! I'd say you have a good chance, it's obvious you put effort into it. SMASHING!
Kitty cat looked pretty happy about it too

..and yeah, this has pulled people out of the woodwork a bit, I always love it when that happens. All those guys that live in the "list on the left" on the homepage, finally posting something!

So many great entries too.

I have a favorite though...
..that dreamy voice..
..it haunts me.

You're right, we've had some awesome entries already. I love seeing the creative side of everyone that we might not get to see on a daily posting basis. When we get into talking about DLDI, EZ-Flash, and DS-X, we all forget that everyone else has the rest of their lifes. This kind of lets us peek into other's creativity.

And yes, the cat enjoyed it very much.

Yeah, I think "that" guy will steal a place for sure. I mean, how can you even compete with it; the guitar, the acsent, the sexiness.

Edit:
Thank you, Xanikseo, I really appreciate the comment

I really-really love GBATemp!

That's my first thing I check when my PC turns on!
That's my home page!
Every day I check it, never forgive and never don't check! Check all things on it, reads all things!

And I very happy with it!

Older ROM junkies should get a kick out of my entry. No hate against no-intro, I just always preferred the radical chiptunes an intros. Adds more personality to the scene.
Also I'm worried that newbies won't really get it, but at least homebrewers could use it.
It anyone doesn't know cracktros:

Haha, this Mode7 one. The second one after the monkey.

Honestly watching these make me a little annoyed about no-intro. I love cracktros! They're like the scene history.
i agree with you. i had that cracktro with advanced wars 2 and i played game during army but i often just played that cracktro
